1969 BMW R60/5 Motorcycle

The R60/5 from BMW, first produced in 1969, is a 599cc air cooled, four stroke, boxer engine driven motorcycle.  Being the first of the /5 series, the new generation of boxers incorporated many new features not found on earlier boxers.  The 423 pound piece of machinery differs mostly in styling.  The 1969 R60/5 came all black with white pinstripes.  The first year, first generation of the /5 classic BMW boxer cranked out a maximum of 40hp at 6400 rpm and a top speed of 103 mph, which for the time was quite impressive.  With the traditional BMW shaft drive, the 4 speed 60/5 offered a new twist on the sport/touring market that was just emerging in the United States at the time, and continues to be loved by BMW enthusiasts and classic motorcycle lovers alike today.
